CROWE STILL INTERESTED IN A STAR IS BORN AS BEYONCE PULLS OUT
RUSSELL CROWE has confirmed reports he’s in talks to take on KRIS KRISTOF FERSON’s role in a remake of BARBRA STREISAND movie A STAR IS BORN - but BEYONCE is no longer attached to the project.
The odd couple were linked to the leading roles in the remake of the 19 76 film, in which has-been rocker Kristofferson fell for aspiring pop sta r Streisand.
Crowe, who tasted rock star success as the frontman of Thirty Odd Foot Of Grunts, admits he’s still interested in making the movie - but doesn’t think Beyonce is.
He tells U.S. news show Extra, "I think she’s pulled out of it. I’m sti ll chatting about it. It’s one of those stories that’s been made a lot, b ut I think it’s still quite a big focus - you can see that in terms of th e popularity of things like American Idol." And Crowe admits he’s an unlikely fan of the TV talent show’s wannabe t alent: "I have been known to spend many an hour watching American Idol; i t’s a compelling piece of TV."
